International law Books

Book SynopsisAs companies and organisations increasingly operate across national boundaries, so the incentive to understand how to acquire, deploy and protect IP rights in multiple national jurisdictions has rapidly increased.Transnational Intellectual Property Law meets the need for a book that introduces contemporary intellectual property as it is practiced in today?s global context. Focusing on three major IP regimes - the United States, Europe and China - the unique transnational approach of this textbook will help law students and lawyers across the world understand not only how IP operates in different national contexts, but also how to coordinate IP protection across numerous national jurisdictions. International IP treaties are also covered, but in the context of an overall emphasis on transnational coordination of legal rights and strategies.Providing detailed thematic coverage of the major IP rights, including Patents, Copyright, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Design Protection, the book delves into the national laws and operational realities of these three jurisdictions, highlighting the issues and questions that are most frequently encountered in practice. Of special note are the many English translations of Chinese legal materials = providing the richest and most in-depth coverage of authoritative IP-related statutes, cases and commentaries currently available to students.The textbook draws heavily on cases and other primary sources to tease out the differences, commonalities, and ultimately, strategies for taking a global approach to IP protection. Thought-provoking questions and scenarios throughout the book will stimulate class discussion and cement understanding.Key features: Introductory problems allow students to identify and navigate the key issues An accessible layout with case extracts, questions and notes clearly highlighted illustrates examples of crucial issues, helps identify key information, and points to extensive practical and scholarly commentary on important issues? Comparative approach with numerous references to law and business context in China, the United States and Europe allows students to place national IP in a global context Expert analytical commentary on carefully selected cases guides readers on the key issues. Engaging and comprehensive, this textbook will be essential for all IP courses that aspire to teach the global dimension of IP, and for all students whose aim is to practice IP in what is an increasingly transnational marketplace.Trade Review'The authors of this textbook explore the transnational intellectual property system through a profound theoretical foundation and rich practical experience.

Book SynopsisThis authoritative guide to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea provides a timely assessment of its activities over the past two decades. P. Chandrasekhara Rao and Philippe Gautier?s comprehensive book delivers a detailed and extensive analysis of the Tribunal?s jurisdiction, the procedural rules governing cases before it, and its contribution to the development of the law of the sea. Through a thorough examination of the Tribunal?s judicial practice, as well as referencing primary sources such as treaties and statutes, the authors demonstrate that the Tribunal has fulfilled the role entrusted to it by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Utilising a practice-orientated approach, this methodical analysis reveals that the Tribunal has successfully developed its own working methods in handling cases, whilst establishing itself as a judicial institution with the ability to discharge its functions efficiently and cost-effectively, and most importantly, determines that its jurisprudence has contributed to the development of a coherent and progressive interpretation of the law of the sea. Perceptive and meticulous, this book will be an invaluable resource for legal practitioners, as well as for academics, students and researchers interested in the functioning and achievements of the Tribunal.Trade Review‘The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea: Law, Practice and Procedure is an important and helpful contribution to the literature addressing the law and practice of the ITLOS. Practitioners, in particular, will find that the book is of great assistance in understanding how the ITLOS works and what the procedural and jurisdictional framework for litigation is. There is no doubt that the book will become an indispensable reference work for practitioners and scholars dealing with dispute settlement before the ITLOS and in the law of the sea more generally.’ -- Valentin J Schatz, German Yearbook of International Law‘The book is an important and helpful contribution to the literature addressing the law and practice of the ITLOS. Practitioners, in particular, will find that the book is of great assistance in understanding how the ITLOS works and what the procedural and jurisdictional framework for litigation is. They will find the book accessible and easy to navigate. They will also profit from quick access to the relevant case-law for each of the covered issues. There is no doubt that the book will become an indispensable reference work for practitioners and scholars dealing with dispute settlement before the ITLOS and in the law of the sea more generally.’ -- Valentin J Schatz, German Yearbook of International Law‘The book will prove a valuable tool for academics, practitioners and students with an interest in law of the sea or international dispute settlement. Moreover, with new developments in law of the sea we may see an even greater role played by the Tribunal in disputes relating to that agreement, and this book will prove an invaluable asset.’ -- Mitchell Lennan, Review of European, Comparative and International Environmental Law'Written by a former Judge and President of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and by its Registrar, this is certainly the most authoritative treatise on the Tribunal. It combines the insider's view of two protagonists of the activities of the Tribunal for more than twenty years with a first-rate scholarly approach. The book is a well-structured, tightly written, highly informed and informative treatise on a Tribunal that since its establishment in 1996 has found a relevant place in the map of permanent international adjudicating bodies. Procedural and institutional aspects as well as the contribution made by the Tribunal's case-law are presented in detail and in concise language. I have no doubt that this treatise will become a necessary tool for scholars and practitioners.' --Tullio Treves, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy'This book provides a clear, reliable, perceptive, and eminently practical account of the law and practice of the Hamburg Tribunal. It is essential reading for all those involved in the law of the sea and international dispute settlement. The two highly qualified authors (former President and current Registrar) have written what will surely become the first point of reference on the Tribunal, for practitioners and academics alike.' --Sir Michael Wood, Member of the UN International Law Commission'This book will be an indispensable reference for judges, lawyers, and scholars interested in the settlement of international disputes regarding the law of the sea. ''Present at the creation'' of ITLOS, the authors discreetly but generously share with us invaluable insights acquired during their two decades of service to the Tribunal, one as Judge (and President) and the other as Registrar. Text and practice are elegantly interwoven in a coherent explication of the Tribunal's procedure.' --Bernard H. Oxman, University of Miami, School of Law, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisPublic Private Partnership for WTO Dispute Settlement is an interdisciplinary work examining the growing interaction between business entities and public officials. Crucially, it identifies how this relationship can enable developing countries to effectively utilize the provisions of the World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement Understanding (WTO DSU).Building on more than five years of empirical investigation, Amrita Bahri reflects on the dispute settlement partnership experiences of the top DSU users from the developed and developing world. This enables her to evaluate a diverse range of dispute settlement partnership strategies, which have allowed the governments involved to harness resources and expertise from the private sector.With practical suggestions on dispute settlement capacity building, this book provides a roadmap to policymakers, industry representatives and legal professionals on how to effectively engage with business entities for the resolution of international trade conflicts. It also provides a template for teaching and research activities to scholars focusing on international trade law, development studies and international dispute settlement.Trade Review'Extremely insightful and groundbreaking book based on comprehensive and rigorous research. Its admirable treatment of public private partnership in WTO disputes would attract policymakers, industry, legal professionals and the academic community. Incisive recommendations made by the author provide an effective template for countries to engage purposefully for resolving trade friction.' --Abhijit Das, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, India'This book is a tremendous and timely contribution to the existing scholarship on law and development. Based on the full internalization of the literature, on painstaking empirical analysis and on an enriching comparative analysis, it explores the obstacles developing countries face in participating in legal institutions and suggests the strategies and synergies they can deploy to overcome them. The ultimate value of this strong project, not to be underscored in these critical times, is that legal institutions matter and can represent an important factor in shaping development.' --Luca Rubini, Birmingham Law School, UK'This is a stimulating comparison of how governments in developed countries (the United States and the EU) and in key developing countries (Brazil, China and India) have been handling their industries' complaints about foreign trade barriers. The lessons drawn in this study, on how such cooperation could be formalized and possibly improved from a developing country perspective, are worthwhile.

Book SynopsisThis timely Research Handbook contains an analysis by leading scholars and practitioners of various legal questions concerning cyberspace and cyber activities. Comprehensive and thorough, it succeeds in mapping out the range of international rules that apply to cyberspace and to specific cyber activities, assesses their regulatory efficacy and offers insightful suggestions, where necessary, for revised standards.Contributors examine the application of fundamental international law principles to cyberspace such as the principle of sovereignty, jurisdiction, state responsibility, individual criminal responsibility, human rights and intellectual property rights. They explore the application of international rules to cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, cyber crime, cyber attacks and to cyber war. They deal with the meaning of cyber operations, the ethics of cyber operations as well as with cyber deterrence. Finally, they comment on the cyber security policies of international and regional institutions such as those of the United Nations, the European Union, NATO and of Asian-Pacific institutions.This Research Handbook will benefit scholars in the fields of international law, international relations, public and private law. Researchers will find the suggested future research avenues in this field invaluable whilst policy-makers and practitioners will gain fresh insights into topical issues concerning the regulation of cyberspace and of cyber activities.Contributors: K.

Book SynopsisWhilst the concept of jus cogens has grown increasingly more important in public international law, lawyers remain hugely divided both over what precisely confers a jus cogens status on a norm, and what this conferral implies in terms of legal consequences. In this ground-breaking book, Ulf Linderfalk clearly and succinctly explores the reasons for this divide in order to facilitate more rational and productive future discourse. Offering a new focus for jus cogens research, this insightful work moves beyond traditionally designed investigations of the application of jus cogens in international law and instead analyses the many implicit basic assumptions held by participants in international legal discourse, and the way in which these assumptions explain their various claims. Clarifying the precise relationship between submitted propositions and a legal positivist or legal idealist frame of mind, this captivating book will influence not only the future understanding and practice of international law, but also its codification and progressive development. Scholars and advanced students of public international law, and international legal theory especially, will find this book a stimulating and novel read. Practitioners and judicial bodies will also benefit from a deeper understanding of the many issues and influences surrounding the concept of jus cogens.Trade Review'Ulf Linderfalk's new book Understanding Jus Cogens in International Law and International Legal Discourse is a timely contribution to the debate on the criteria and consequences of jus cogens in international law. A debate which has, for the most part, been characterised by participants speaking past each other. Building on his previous accomplished work on the theory of jus cogens, Linderfalk takes a step back in order to examine the common assumptions underlying dominant approaches to jus cogens in international law. The result is a book that has the potential to open the lines of communication in the pursuit of better understanding of jus cogens.' --Dire Tladi, University of Pretoria, South AfricaTable of ContentsContents: 1.

WrayTrade Review'Law creates and regulates our political and economic life. If the legal institutions of citizenship and political authority, property and contract, money and credit, or labor and capital were put together differently, our world might be more equal, productive, democratic, sustainable and just. This terrific collection explores how this might be done. Each essay puts law at the center of a story about political economy and asks how things might be otherwise. Original, broad-reaching and imaginative, these essays will change how you think about the world: what seemed natural and inevitable will seem open to rethinking and remaking.

Book SynopsisInternational Law provides a comprehensive theoretical examination of the key areas of international law. In addition to classic cases and materials, Carlo Focarelli addresses the latest relevant international practice to illustrate contemporary themes and trends in international law and to examine its most topical challenges. The key features of this textbook include: A unitary - 'systemic' and 'realist-constructivist' theoretical illustration of international law, essential to an understanding of how international law works in practice and can, or should be changed A clear logical structure and thorough cross-referencing, for accessible, systemic and consistent learning Up-to-date bibliographies at the end of each chapter and academic commentary on the very latest cases, covering all aspects of international law. Insightful and topical, this textbook will be an invaluable teaching resource for students of law, political science, and international relations. 'Carlo Focarelli's textbook aims to achieve theoretical cohesiveness about international law as a system and yet at the same time emphasises the importance of state practice, not just the practice of courts but also diplomatic practice more widely. What is particularly welcome is the book's aim to familiarise readers outside Italy with international legal thinking and state practice from an important European country that for centuries has been a significant contributor to the discourse of international law. This unique approach reflects well the contemporary trend for studying international law from comparative perspectives and will make the book a valuable read for students interested in international law.' - Lauri Mälksoo, University of Tartu, EstoniaTrade Review'Offering a cohesive vision of international law through a systemic, realist-constructivist approach, Carlo Focarelli's International Law makes an important contribution to the list of international law treatises.' --Charlotte Ku, Texas A&M University, School of Law, US'Italian doctrine has given invaluable contributions to international law discussion.

A textbook of enormous intellectual strength and elegance!' --Peter Hilpold, University of Innsbruck, Austria'This is an impressive summa legis exposed from the vantage point of a very high peak overarching the mountainous, rocky and sometimes more remotely flat landscapes of international law. All main questions of this peculiar legal order, from the sources to the subjects, from economy to use of force and to settlement of disputes, are reviewed by one of the most gifted and powerful international lawyers of his generation and country.

Book SynopsisThis detailed and perceptive book examines the extent and scope of how rules for accession to the WTO may vary between countries, approaching the concerns that some countries enter with a better deal than others. Dylan Geraets critiques these additional ?rules? and aims to answer the question of whether new Members of the WTO are under stricter rules than the original Members, whilst analysing the accession process to the multilateral trading system.Taking an integrated approach, the author combines the results of a Mapping Exercise of all 36 Protocols of accession with a legal analysis of the decisions by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body involving Protocols of Accession. In doing so, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the issue of Member-specific ?WTO-Plus? commitments in Protocols of Accession. Whilst addressing the institutional and historical aspects of the WTO accession process, it provides a vital update to the existing scholarship on WTO accession, offering coverage of all accessions including those of Afghanistan, Kazakhstan and Liberia.Accession to the World Trade Organization will be invaluable reading for academics interested in WTO accession practice, as well as lawyers, practitioners and government officials in the field of WTO accession.Trade Review'This is a long overdue analysis: how is one to classify and then interpret the widely different obligations found in the Accession Protocols of new members. Dylan Geraets does an admirable job in navigating these underexposed yet noteworthy new rules in the WTO system. With this book he has made his mark.' --Marco Bronckers, Leiden University, the Netherlands'Close to one in four WTO members acceded to the WTO after its establishment in 1995. What is the legal status of their ''entry fee'' commitments? What WTO-plus and/or -minus rules can be found in the 36 Accession Protocols to date? Is the WTO veering toward a multi-tiered membership? This book is the first in-depth legal analysis of WTO accession rules and jurisprudence.

Book SynopsisThrough the analysis of Al-Shaybani?'s most prolific work As-Siyar Al Kabier, this book offers a unique insight into the classic Islamic perspective on international law. Despite being recognised as one of the earliest contributors to the field of international law, there has been little written, in English, on Al-Shaybani?'s work; this book will go some way towards filling the lacuna. International Islamic Law examines Al-Shaybani?'s work alongside that of other leading scholars such as: Augustine, Gratian, Aquinas, Vitoria and Grotius, proving a full picture of early thinking on international law. Individual chapters provide discussion on Al-Shaybani?'s writing in relation to war, peace, the consequences of war and diplomatic missions. Khaled Ramadan Bashir uses contemporary international law vocabulary to enable the reader to consider Al-Shaybani?'s writing in a modern context.This book will be a useful and unique resource for scholars in the field of international Islamic law, bringing together and translating a number of historical sources to form one accessible and coherent text. Scholars researching the historical and jurisprudential origins of public international law topics, such as: international humanitarian law, ?just war?, international dispute resolution, asylum and diplomacy will also find the book to be an interesting and valuable text.Trade Review‘Bashir makes a major contribution to this field of law, introducing readers to the essential contributions of Al-Shaybani. For anyone interested in a non-European perspective on the history of international law, this book provides an insightful presentation of the large volume of legal doctrine regulating the laws of war and peace in Islamic law.’ -- Mona Samadi, Nordic Journal of International Law‘Bashir’s book is a valuable addition to the literature of international law, as it can be regarded as the first comprehensive English-language study of Al-Shaybani’s Siyar. Bashir should be highly praised for his scholarly presentation of Al-Shaybani’s Siyar to the readership of international law and, more importantly, for locating Al-Shaybani in the list of international law scholars who have made outstanding contributions to world peace and security.’ -- Abdulmalik M Altamimi, Journal of Law and Religion‘Dr Bashir’s book is a masterpiece. It strikes at the foundation of modern international law by challenging its historical attribution to Western Europe. The book will be an interesting read for students and scholars of international law who may be interested in knowing the intersections between classical Islamic international law and modern international law on the one hand and the major similarities and differences between Al-Shaybani and St Augustine, Gratian, Aquinas, Vitoria and Grotius on the other hand. The book is highly recommended.’ -- Abubakri Yekini, Manchester Journal of Transnational Islamic Law & Practice‘Bashir’s book indeed promises to redefine the history of international law.’ -- Jus Gentium, Journal of International Legal History‘Elegantly written, clearly ordered, extensively referenced and meticulously examined.’ -- Nicholas Coulton, Ecclesiastical Law Journal'Positioning himself in the enduring dispute over the nature, legacy and contemporary relevance of Siyar, Khaled Ramadan Bashir aims at enlarging the traditional Western perspective on international law. One does not have to agree in all its particulars to find this book thought-provoking and an important contribution to intercivilizational legal dialogue.' --Marie-Luisa Frick, University of Innsbruck, Austria'Khaled Ramadan Bashir is to be commended for shining a light on Shaybani and his place as a pioneer and one of the greatest of scholars of international law. This study breaks the stranglehold of the European origins of international law and forces scholars to engage with the millennium between Antiquity and Discovery by acknowledging the centrality of the Siyar: the study of the Islamic Law of Nations.' --Jean Allain, Monash University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book explores the relationship between Japan and the European Union as they work increasingly closely together in many areas of global governance. It discusses the most salient areas of such cooperation from a range of perspectives, while examining not just convergences but also differences.Written by experts from both Europe and Japan, interdisciplinary chapters investigate both actors' current approaches to global governance and multilateralism as well as providing a historical perspective on their bilateral relations. The book explores their cooperation in areas stretching from trade and finance to security in light of the recent EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement and Strategic Partnership Agreement. Offering insights into their current relationship, it outlines challenges for the future, and draws relevant lessons from the history of global governance in Asia and Europe.Scholars of Asian and European law with an interest in international governance and regulation, and particularly those working in EU-Japan affairs, will find this a significant and stimulating read. It will also be useful for policy-makers in the EU and Japan working in international security, trade, and economic, monetary and financial policy.Trade Review‘For anyone interested in understanding power politics and what is happening in the world, this book is good background reading on a relationship that has become more important to global governance not only in the field of economics and trade but also when it comes to other issues such as security and international politics.’ -- Journal of Japanese Studies'In the rapidly changing landscape of the world power constellation, this book presents the state of play of the liberal democratic world, focusing on Japan and the EU. One author concludes: ''While certainly multilateralism is not thrown overboard, it is complemented with bilateral forms of cooperation. The EU-Japan partnership is a good example indeed.'' It traces Japan-EU relations, in particular focusing on the Economic Partnership Agreement (entered into force in 2019), and the Strategic Partnership Agreement (at the provisional application stage).' -- Takako Ueta, Kagawa University and Sophia University, Japan, and former Ambassador, Deputy Chief of the Mission of Japan to the EU'Anyone who wishes to know more about the dynamics between the EU and Japan across a range of issues areas should find this book a welcome addition to the literature. Clearly documenting how the European Union enhances its economic and strategic partnerships at the bilateral and multilateral level in an increasingly contested global order, the book highlights the evolving relationship with Japan as they both seek to contain China's quest for cross-regional influence, fill the void of American leadership, and foster strategic bilateral cooperation across key policy goals. While specific chapters focus on economic cooperation highlighting mutual agreement on data flows, climate bonds, and non-tariff trade barriers, the authors conclude that there is no guarantee whether these agreements will achieve their stated objectives. Such enhancement of broader foreign policy goals and commitments is also critical at the multilateral level where several chapters assess the prospects for EU and Japan to enhance global cooperation when faced with increased dissatisfaction with the performance and power structures of global institutions leading to the expansion of alternative modes of global governance. Drawing on research in law, politics and economics, the focus on the evolving EU-Japan partnership provides some comparative lessons to determine how their respective norms and commitments can provide an important counterweight to challenges to global governance and the liberal international order if they can operationalize their ambitious strategic partnership to shape evolving markets, rules, rights regimes.' -- Michelle Egan, American University, US'Japan, the European Union and Global Governance provides a timely and empirically rich assessment of the EU-Japan relationship. It presents an excellent resource for students and scholars who wish to gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of the bilateral EU and Japan relationship but also into their collective commitment to international cooperation and effective multilateralism. Leading experts from Europe and Japan offer legal, economic and security insights, and in doing so they succeed in putting this salient EU-Japan relationship in the necessary historical, political and international context. A must-read for foreign policy, area studies or international relations scholars with an interest in Europe and Asia.' -- Heidi Maurer, University of Bristol, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisAt the end of the Cold War, international law scholars engaged in furious debate over whether principles of democratic legitimacy had entered international law. Many argued that a "democratic entitlement" was then emerging. Others were skeptical that international practice in democracy promotion was either consistent or sufficiently widespread and many found the idea of a democratic entitlement dangerous. Those debates, while ongoing, have not been comprehensively revisited in almost twenty years. This research review identifies the leading scholarship of the past two decades on these and other questions. It focuses particular attention on the normative consequences of the recent "democratic recession" in many regions of the world.Trade Review‘This is a timely collection of the best writings from the past two decades on whether liberal-democratic norms have successfully infiltrated international law, a field that—while traditionally built upon the concept of the State—has been agnostic as to governmental legitimacy. A must read for anyone concerned with the implications for inter-State relations of threats to democracy worldwide, and an excellent companion volume to Democratic Governance and International Law (2000).' -- Sean D.

Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book explores the functions of charitable foundations in the People's Republic of China. Using both empirical fieldwork and extensive textual analysis, it examines the role of foundations in Chinese society and their relationship with the Chinese government. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Katja Levy and Knut Benjamin Pissler offer a comprehensive overview of the contemporary legal and political frameworks within which Chinese charitable foundations operate, as well as an assessment of their historical and traditional contexts. They re-evaluate the existing literature on China's civil society, and provide a new, functional perspective on the role of foundations, complementing mainstream civil society and corporatist perspectives. This incisive book will be invaluable reading for scholars researching the third sector in China, as well as practitioners working in this sector. Scholars and students of contemporary Chinese law, politics and society will also find its insights useful. Trade Review‘Charity with Chinese Characteristics has undeniable value as a source book. The citations and their comprehensiveness enhance this value. Scholars in topically related fields of study - including but not limited to civil society, welfare systems, authoritarian control systems, and political mechanisms at the grassroots - will find Charity with Chinese Characteristics useful as a comparative reference.

The authors successfully manage to unveil the often referred to “Chinese Characteristics” that might be translated into a combined notion of Foucault's approach of governmentality and the Gramscian concept of hegemony.’ -- Annette Zimmer, VOLUNTAS: International Journal of Voluntary & Nonprofit Organizations'Until recently, China had successfully followed the paths of Western governments eager to ease the regulatory barriers for large scale philanthropy in hopes of unlocking private resources to complement public expenditure. But as this deeply-researched, important study demonstrates, Chinese foundations only partially resemble their independent Western counterparts because they are effectively instrumentalized by the Chinese Party-state, as Levy and Pissler convincingly show by developing an innovative analytical framework. This book will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in Chinese philanthropy and civil society.' --Stefan Toepler, George Mason University, US'One of the most important developments in China in recent years has been the rise of new wealth and how the Chinese Communist Party is responding. Charitable foundations are increasing in number and taking on roles formerly the preserve of government agencies. In this important study, Levy and Pissler look at the development of the sector and the constraints placed upon it by the authorities. A well-informed and important book that should be read by all interested in developments in contemporary China.' --Tony Saich, Harvard Kennedy School, US'This is one of the first international books that deals with Chinese charitable foundations, broadly covering the third sector as well as the problems and opportunities of charity in China. It is an impressive interdisciplinary work authored by two renowned experts in the field. They rightly use a functional governance approach, present extensive historical and empirical data and provide excellent information on the current function of foundations in China's society.

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas. 'This is a must-have first book for anyone interested in global/transnational law, law and globalisation or legal globalisation, all complex concepts so fascinatingly expounded by the book. One great advantage of this book is that it concisely and comprehensively analyses the pluralist phenomenon of law and globalisation and provides a coherent theoretical/conceptual web connecting major interdependent, interrelated disciplines, theories, methodologies, and dimensions utilised in existing studies of the above phenomenon. The book takes a laudable fresh approach embracing not only the orthodoxies but also a novel and forward-looking perspective fitting for new powers such as China.'- Qiao Liu, The University of Queensland, Australia This Advanced Introduction offers a fresh critical analysis of various dimensions of law and globalisation, drawing on historical, normative, theoretical, and linguistic methodologies. Its comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach spans the fields of global legal pluralism, comparative legal studies, and international law. Key features include: Comprehensive treatment of main themes and approaches in law and globalisation discussions Provides a theoretical basis for evaluating legal globalisation Includes contemporary developments Examples from many jurisdictions offer a genuinely global perspective. An ideal concise companion for students and scholars alike, this book sets out an alternative view to law and globalisation that will interest anyone concerned with the future of legal globalisation.Trade Review'The field of law and globalisation is increasingly important, but also increasingly difficult to navigate, because it encompasses an expanding range of concepts, perspectives, and phenomena -- global law, global governance, transnational law, comparative law, legal pluralism, universalism, and so on -- that scholars rarely take the time to distinguish or define. Professor Husa has done students and scholars alike a great service by writing a fair-minded and broad-ranging introduction to the subject that cuts through this thicket in clear and concise fashion.' --David S. Law, Washington University in St. Louis, US and The University of Hong Kong'This timely book provides a perfect introduction to the multifaceted and ambivalent discussion about law and globalisation. Written by an authority in the field, this book is not only a concise and highly readable introduction for newcomers to the field, but also provides a well-informed and innovative critique of the foundations and consequences of globalisation of law. Highly recommended!' --Jan Smits, Maastricht University, the Netherlands.'Professor Husa's advanced introduction to globalisation and law is a timely and much needed work that examines the topic, not in some textbook defined way, but in terms of the tensions and debates that this complex and controversial subject generates. The author begins by showing that historically law has always had a global dimension (ius gentium, ius commune, ius naturale, colonialization, human rights etc) and he goes on to consider the difficulties that globalisation presents to comparative lawyers. Professor Husa guides the reader effortlessly through these difficulties and advances his own important argument that comparative law will have to move away from its traditional nation state bound view of law. He pursues this argument in examining the more precise aspects of the global debate - neoliberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, lex mercatoria and judicial internationalisation - before posing this question. What kind of theoretical and methodological base is required when thinking about law in a global context? Traditional theory and methods are tested within the globalisation paradigm and the author concludes by stressing the importance of legal pluralism within a culturally diverse world. How should all of this impact on legal education and in turn on legal language? What Professor Husa provides is a very informative and clear analysis - introductory but equally profoundly wide-ranging in its research base - of these two issues. Legal globalisation? Here in this book are all the arguments, debates, tensions and of course some answers.' --Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I FOUNDATIONS 1.

Book SynopsisDrawing on the expertise and experience of contributors from a wide range of academic, professional and judicial backgrounds, the Research Handbook on the International Penal System critically analyses the laws, policies and practices that govern detention, punishment and the enforcement of sentences in the international criminal justice context. Comprehensive and innovative, it examines the operation of the international penal system, covering pertinent issues such as non-custodial sanctions, monitoring of conditions of detention, the protection of prisoners under international law and the transfer of prisoners. These aspects are presented in a logical order, linking up with the chronological sequence of the international criminal justice process. Far-reaching, this Handbook also explores broader normative questions related to contemporary human rights law, transitional and restorative justice and victim redress, before exploring contemporary and alternative mechanisms for punishing and overseeing punishment, and possible avenues for development.This up-to-date assessment will provide valuable insights for researchers and students of international criminal law and justice, comparative penal law, penology, prisoners' rights and transitional and restorative justice. Its recommendations for development will also interest international and national officials working in criminal law and justice.Contributors: D. Abels, K. Ambos, O. Bekou, S. D Ascoli, T.A.

Book SynopsisPeace is an elusive concept, especially within the field of international law, varying according to historical era and between Research Handbook responds to the gap created by the neglect of peace in international law scholarship. Explaining the normative evolution of peace from the principles of peaceful co-existence to the UN declaration on the right to peace, this Research Handbook calls for the fortification of international institutions to facilitate the pursuit of sustainable peace as a public good. It sets forth a new agenda for research that invites scholars from a broad array of disciplines and fields of law to analyse the contribution of international institutions to the construction and implementation of sustainable peace. With its critical examination of courts, transitional justice institutions, dispute resolution and fact-finding mechanisms, this Research Handbook goes beyond the traditional focus on post-conflict resolution, and includes areas not usually found in analyses of peace such as investment and trade law. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers in the field of international law and peace, this Research Handbook analyses peace in the context of law applicable to women, refugees, environmentalism, sustainable development, disarmament, and other key contemporary issues. This thoughtful Research Handbook will be a crucial tool for policymakers, practitioners, and academics in the fields of international law, human rights, jus post bellum, and development. Its comprehensive insights to the field will also be of benefit for students of political science, law, and peace studies. Contributors: B.A. Andreassen, C.M. Bailliet, D. Behn, K. Egeland, O.

Book Synopsis'The fields of comparative administrative law and its close cousin, regulatory law, are now experiencing the explosion that occurred a while ago in comparative constitutional law. This Bignami and Zaring volume provides both excellent introduction into these newest developments and a record of substantial research achievements.'- Martin Shapiro, University of California, Berkeley, School of LawRegulation today is global. It affects everything from e-commerce to product safety to air quality and much more. How is regulation made and enforced in the multiple domestic and international jurisdictions called upon to address the problems of international markets and global society? To understand the global regulatory process, it is necessary to move beyond conventional sub-fields of law like administrative law and international law. Drawing on contributions from an international team of leading scholars with diverse subject and country expertise, Comparative Law and Regulation introduces a new field of legal research geared at understanding the operation of the regulatory process across the world. The volume affords cutting-edge analysis of the entire gamut of regulatory law: rulemaking by bureaucracies, legislatures, and private bodies; oversight by public and private actors; civil and criminal enforcement; and judicial review. The chapters cover over thirty different domestic and international jurisdictions, including the United States, Germany, the European Union, India, China, South Korea, Colombia, the World Trade Organization, and private investor-state arbitral tribunals.The theoretical and methodological innovations introduced in this book will make it compulsory reading for scholars of public law, comparative law, and international law as well as those working in public policy, political science, and economics. For legal professionals in government agencies and the private sector, it affords both a useful theoretical framing of the complex issues involved in international and comparative regulation and an up-to-date overview of the legal and technical aspects. Contributors include: J. Baert Wiener, F. Bignami, A.R. Chapman, C. Coglianese, E.A. Feldman, C. Fish, L. Forman, J. Fowkes, D.A. Hensler, H.C.H. Hofmann, C.-Y. Huang, R.D. Kelemen, E. Lamprea, D.S.

ZaringTrade ReviewComparative Law and Regulation: Understanding the Global Regulatory Process opens a new frontier in administrative and comparative law. It visualizes the subject of government regulation of private business enterprise in international terms. It examines the ways in which different countries as well as international organizations engage in regulation, and the checks and balances that constrain that process. It considers the possibilities of convergence and transplants from one country to another. It examines the many dimensions of the problem including developed vs. developing countries, private vs. public regulators, and pluralistic vs. neo-corporatist systems. Global regulation is a subject of immense practical and political importance, and this volume does justice to its complexity.' --Michael Asimow, Stanford Law School'This collection, written by leading scholars of administrative law, is a major contribution to a field whose importance is increasingly recognized. The chapters combine thoughtful theoretical analyses - based in part on a framework clearly laid out in an introductory essay - with detailed examination of the actual operation of administrative law in several legal arenas defined both by their subject matters and the legal systems in which the issues arise. The literature in this new field is significantly deepened by this valuable collection.' --Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School'Comparative Law and Regulation invites and assists scholars and policy makers to reassess how regulation operates within their own countries in light of the experience of other countries. The twenty-one chapters, written by leading scholars, weave together multiple disciplinary perspectives to capture the rich complexity of regulatory processes in an accessible and helpful manner.

Book SynopsisEnvironmental crime is arguably the most vital and destructive crime of the 21st century, especially in the light of climate change and shifts in social, economic and ecological circumstances that will accompany global warming. The author takes an excitingly broad and refreshing approach to environmental crime and investigates a variety of topics including illegal fishing, poaching, wildlife crimes, animal abuse, climate change and ecocide as well as crimes related to waste, energy and contamination.Trade Review‘This two volume collection edited by Professor Rob White offers a challenging and insightful flavour of the criminological endeavour to address one of the most prescient challenges of the 21st century: environmental crime. Edited by one of the foremost academics in this field these two volumes do not claim to be exhaustive but as the editor says they do claim to be “interesting, provocative, informative and stimulating”. They are certainly all of these things and more besides. Taken together they lay down an unprecedented challenge to academics, politicians and policy-makers alike to take environmental crime seriously: an essential collection for anyone interested in these issues.’ -- Sandra Walklate, Liverpool University, UK and Monash University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Volume I Acknowledgements ix Introduction Rob White xii PART I ENVIRONMENTAL HARM AND TRANSNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely Handbook contains a wide-ranging overview of the diverse research methods used within international law. Providing an insightful examination of how international legal knowledge is analysed and adopted, this Handbook offers the reader a deeper understanding on the role and place of research methods in international legal theory, reasoning and practice.Split into five parts, the chapters cover key topics across doctrinal, empirical, socio-legal, interdisciplinary research methods and methodology. The contributors also apply their knowledge and insight to explore the relationship between different research methods and their role in international legal theory, reasoning and practice. Covering a range of diverse subjects yet written in a methodical style, the contributors furthermore engage with rethinking international law methods.This comprehensive Handbook will be invaluable for researchers in international law, as well as being an excellent resource for graduate and doctoral students.Trade Review'Academic international lawyers may have come to consider and discuss methodological concerns relatively late, but today’s international law has grown into a mature academic discipline, taken seriously both by outside audiences and itself. This Handbook contains a rich overview of contending approaches and techniques, often proxies for grand theories and perspectives. It offers food for thought, inspiration, wisdom, and things one can cheerfully disagree with - the editors are to be congratulated for having produced such a well-rounded volume.' -- Jan Klabbers, University of Helsinki, FinlandTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction 1 Rossana Deplano and Nicholas Tsagourias PART I RETHINKING METHODS 2 How to defend international legal method? 9 Richard Collins 3 Transatlantic divisions in methods of inquiry about law: What it means for international law 28 John Linarelli 4 International legal methods: Working for a tragic and cynical routine 43 Jean d’Aspremont 5 Methodology: Writing about how we do research 61 Sundhya Pahuja 6 Is international legal research international? 79 Rossana Deplano PART II DOCTRINAL 7 International legal positivist research methods 96 Jörg Kammerhofer 8 Microwaving dreams?

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas. 'This is a must-have first book for anyone interested in global/transnational law, law and globalisation or legal globalisation, all complex concepts so fascinatingly expounded by the book. One great advantage of this book is that it concisely and comprehensively analyses the pluralist phenomenon of law and globalisation and provides a coherent theoretical/conceptual web connecting major interdependent, interrelated disciplines, theories, methodologies, and dimensions utilised in existing studies of the above phenomenon. The book takes a laudable fresh approach embracing not only the orthodoxies but also a novel and forward-looking perspective fitting for new powers such as China.'- Qiao Liu, The University of Queensland, Australia This Advanced Introduction offers a fresh critical analysis of various dimensions of law and globalisation, drawing on historical, normative, theoretical, and linguistic methodologies. Its comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach spans the fields of global legal pluralism, comparative legal studies, and international law. Key features include: Comprehensive treatment of main themes and approaches in law and globalisation discussions Provides a theoretical basis for evaluating legal globalisation Includes contemporary developments Examples from many jurisdictions offer a genuinely global perspective. An ideal concise companion for students and scholars alike, this book sets out an alternative view to law and globalisation that will interest anyone concerned with the future of legal globalisation.Trade Review'The field of law and globalisation is increasingly important, but also increasingly difficult to navigate, because it encompasses an expanding range of concepts, perspectives, and phenomena -- global law, global governance, transnational law, comparative law, legal pluralism, universalism, and so on -- that scholars rarely take the time to distinguish or define. Professor Husa has done students and scholars alike a great service by writing a fair-minded and broad-ranging introduction to the subject that cuts through this thicket in clear and concise fashion.' --David S. Law, Washington University in St. Louis, US and The University of Hong Kong'This timely book provides a perfect introduction to the multifaceted and ambivalent discussion about law and globalisation. Written by an authority in the field, this book is not only a concise and highly readable introduction for newcomers to the field, but also provides a well-informed and innovative critique of the foundations and consequences of globalisation of law. Highly recommended!' --Jan Smits, Maastricht University, the Netherlands.'Professor Husa's advanced introduction to globalisation and law is a timely and much needed work that examines the topic, not in some textbook defined way, but in terms of the tensions and debates that this complex and controversial subject generates. The author begins by showing that historically law has always had a global dimension (ius gentium, ius commune, ius naturale, colonialization, human rights etc) and he goes on to consider the difficulties that globalisation presents to comparative lawyers. Professor Husa guides the reader effortlessly through these difficulties and advances his own important argument that comparative law will have to move away from its traditional nation state bound view of law. He pursues this argument in examining the more precise aspects of the global debate - neoliberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, lex mercatoria and judicial internationalisation - before posing this question. What kind of theoretical and methodological base is required when thinking about law in a global context? Traditional theory and methods are tested within the globalisation paradigm and the author concludes by stressing the importance of legal pluralism within a culturally diverse world. How should all of this impact on legal education and in turn on legal language? What Professor Husa provides is a very informative and clear analysis - introductory but equally profoundly wide-ranging in its research base - of these two issues. Legal globalisation? Here in this book are all the arguments, debates, tensions and of course some answers.' --Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I FOUNDATIONS 1.

Book SynopsisIn this unique book, leading legal scholars and philosophers provide a breadth of perspectives and inspire stimulating debate around the transformations of jurisprudence in a globalized world. Traditionally the central debates surrounding jurisprudence and legal theory are concerned with the elucidation of the particularities of state-law. This innovative book considers that this orthodox picture may no longer be tenable, given the increasing standardization of technologies, systems and information worldwide. Split across four thematic parts, this timely book provides a broad overview of the topic, followed by in depth analyses investigating the modifications to jurisprudence s methodological approaches driven by globalization, the concepts and theoretical tools required to account for putative new forms of legal phenomena, and normative issues relating to the legitimacy and democratic character of these legal orders. Chapters cover legal encounters with alterity in a post-monist mode, normative legal pluralism, relating law and power in a historical global context, cosmopolitan legitimacy and human rights and dignity in a corporate world. Jurisprudence in a Globalized World will be a key resource for students and scholars working in global transnational law, public international law and legal theory and philosophy. Contributors include: M. Del Mar, P. Eleftheriadis, J.L. Fabra-Zamora, K.W. Gray, M. Grellete, K. Günther, M. Jovanovic, C. Lafont, H. Lindahl, H. Muir Watt, G. Pavlakos, W. TwiningTrade Review'Erudite, careful and wide-ranging, the essays in Jurisprudence in a Globalized World refresh and extend the repertoires of globalized legal thought. Spurred on by the extraordinary generosity of William Twining's jurisprudence, the urgency of this book is shaped by a desire to find new methods and arguments adequate to the task of establishing legitimate forms of global ordering - not as a political and juridical apology but as mode of enquiry and experimentation. As a result, many components of the established scholarly domains of legal theory and comparative and private international law have been transformed. Collectively this book marks a major contribution to the tradition, time, and place of jurisprudence.' --Shaun McVeigh, The University of Melbourne, Australia'The globalization of law remains the biggest challenge for jurisprudence - our notion and understanding of law, law's unity, interactions between legal orders, global justice, and so on. Jorge Luis Fabra-Zamora has assembled a fabulous set of leading scholars from around the world to address these challenges. The result is a treasure box, which has something to offer for everyone interested in global jurisprudence.

Book SynopsisCapturing the core challenges faced by the international tax regime, this timely Research Handbook assesses the impacts of these challenges on a range of stakeholders, evaluating various paths to reform at a time when international tax policy is a topic high on politicians’ agendas. Expert international contributors present an array of perspectives and approaches to research in the field, but all consider the necessity of fundamental reforms. The Research Handbook offers a reappraisal of the foundations and core concepts of the international tax regime, highlighting the need to adjust nineteenth and twentieth century solutions to the challenges of the twenty-first century. Chapters look at the challenges of embracing globalization, the interdependence of world economics, the ensuing impossibility of truly unilateral international tax policy, and the need to accommodate the expanding cast of players on the political map. With a variety of paths to reform suggested throughout, this Research Handbook will prove an invigorating read for law scholars working on taxation law as well as practitioners and policy makers seeking ways to improve, or navigate, the current state of affairs with international tax law.Trade Review‘This is an excellent book which includes several thought-provoking analyses. Although the chapters are intended to provide the reader with an “initial reading” necessary for research on the topics, most of these chapters go much further than that. The book explores a wide variety of themes and is not restricted to corporate or tax treaty related ones as are many textbooks on international taxation. This is seen by the reviewer as a strength rather than a weakness—the Research Handbook on International Taxation helps to fill in a gap in the existing literature. Furthermore, the agenda for further research set out in many contributions is likely to prove very useful to those -- exploring and challenging the current state of affairs.’– Christiana HJI Panayi, British Tax Review‘On showcasing thoughtful researchers, the collection is a tour de force. Brauner is a brilliant curator. Chapters were contributed by scholars in the US, Spain, Canada, Israel, Germany, Brazil, Italy, the UK, Australia, Serbia, Austria, and Poland. The list is not quite half women, but it’s not far from it. And although most of the contributors are distinguished senior scholars – leaders in their fields – there are a few emerging voices that showcase the promise of the field. The world of international tax is exploding with new players and new ideas. The stakes are higher than ever. And so is the need for a Handbook. Especially one this good.’ -- Kim Brooks, JOTWELL‘This book constitutes an essential guide for everybody interested in understanding the current challenges the international tax system is facing.

Book SynopsisThis unique book examines the role non-doctrinal research methods play in international legal research: what do they add to the traditional doctrinal analysis of law and what do they neglect? Focusing on empirical and socio-legal methods, it provides a critical evaluation of the breadth, scope and limits of the representation of international law created by these often-neglected methodologies. The book examines whether non-doctrinal methods promise certainty and objectivity. Chapters explore how adopting social research methods allows artificial landscapes of international law to be constructed, with the aim of aiding our understanding of its normative content. In doing so, the contributors place the normative content of international law into the realm of scientific investigation, providing a critical distance from its principled roots. This insightful book argues that any research methodology, whether doctrinal or non-doctrinal, involves a necessarily partial and incomplete vision of international law. Hence, the critical variation provided by non-doctrinal methods is a useful means for supplementing, rather than replacing, doctrinal analysis. Accessible and engaging, Pluralising International Legal Scholarship will be a key resource for international law scholars, especially those specializing in legal methods. The interdisciplinary nature of the study will also appeal to students and academics working in the fields of international relations, international organization and social research methodology. Contributors include: R. Deplano, M. Dordeska, E.A. Faulkner, G. Gentile, H. Lai, S. Landefeld, G.M. Lentner, L. Lonardo, A. Magaria, J. OstranskyTrade Review'This volume acts as an important and provocative invitation to international legal scholars to take non-doctrinal methods seriously. The various contributions, as diverse as they are, come together in a call for methodological self-reflexiveness, scientific rigour in empirical data collection and analysis, and to consider the real world impacts of international laws and institutions, as well as the social and cultural context in which such laws and institutions develop and evolve.' --Richard Collins, University College Dublin, Ireland'The stakes are high: different methods make different worlds. Still, Deplano and her contributors avoid the snares of a disciplinary turf war and practice a plurality of methods instead. That is the way to proceed.' --Ingo Venzke, University of Amsterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: INTRODUCTION Rossana Deplano 1.

Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book addresses the legal questions raised by the nexus between the rule of law and areas of limited statehood, in which the State lacks the ability to exercise the full depth of its governmental authority. Working from an international law perspective, it examines the implications of limited statehood for the traditional State-based framing of the international legal order.Featuring original contributions written by renowned international scholars, chapters investigate key issues arising at the junction between domestic and international rule of law and areas of limited statehood, as well as the alternative modes of governance that develop therein, both with and without the approval of the State. Contributors discuss the impact of contested sovereignty on the rule of law, international responsibility with regard to rebel governance in these areas, and the consequences of limited statehood for international peace and security.This book will be useful for students and scholars of international law and international relations, particularly those working on sovereignty and statehood, non-state actors, State responsibility, and the rule of law. It will also appeal to practitioners and policy-makers working in these same fields in either State or global governance apparatus.Trade Review’International law presumes a set of territorially-defined sovereign states, but in many parts of the world, state control of territory is more fiction than fact. This path-breaking volume considers a whole host of questions about governance in places where the state’s writ does not run. International law will need fresh thinking if it is ever to affect the behavior of the rebels, gangs and unrecognized governments who actually govern beyond the state, and there is no better place to start than this book.’ -- - Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago, USTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Rule of law and areas of limited statehood: introduction and perspective 2 Linda Hamid and Jan Wouters 2 Thinking about areas of limited statehood and the rule of law 23 Amichai Magen and Zachariah Parcels PART II CONTESTED SOVEREIGNTY IN AREAS OF LIMITED STATEHOOD AND THE INTERNATIONAL RULE OF LAW 3 De facto regimes in areas of limited statehood and the international rule of law 47 Linda Hamid and Jan Wouters 4 Lessons from the (un)rule of law in Crimea 73 Olga Burlyuk 5 Limited statehood and the rule of law: East Jerusalem’s education system as a case study 96 Yaël Ronen PART III REBEL GOVERNANCE IN AREAS OF LIMITED STATEHOOD AND INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY 6 Rebel justice?

Book SynopsisThis insightful book focuses on the application of mass surveillance, its impact upon existing international human rights and the challenges posed by mass surveillance. Through the judicious use of case studies State Sponsored Cyber Surveillance argues for the need to balance security requirements with the protection of fundamental rights.The author makes a case for the adoption of a multilateral cyber surveillance treaty, together with a review of whether online privacy has yet become a rule of customary international law. Chapters provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the right to privacy of communications under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights, as well as guiding the reader through the taxonomy of cyber intelligence operations. Eliza Watt also offers insightful studies of the differences between cyber espionage, cyber electoral interference and mass cyber surveillance.This innovative, thought-provoking book will greatly assist legal practitioners, policymakers and government advisers within the fields of international law and privacy. Students and academics will also be provided with a focussed account and in-depth analysis of recent developments in the law around cyber.Trade Review'Dr Watt's monograph provides a timely and much-needed assessment of the role of international human rights law in regulating State-sponsored digital surveillance. In doing so, it offers a thorough, thoughtful and at times provocative analysis of whether and to what extent this legal framework can reconcile the competing interests of privacy and security in the Digital Age.' -- Russell Buchan, University of Sheffield, UK'With State Sponsored Cyber Surveillance, Eliza Watt, distinguished scholar, international law expert, and civil liberties visionary examines the considerable challenge facing the world's democracies--properly balancing the global race to enhanced cyber espionage and cyber surveillance against preserving the rule of law and fundamental freedoms. Dr. Watt illuminates a path to protect privacy, and therefore human dignity and autonomy, against increasingly powerful mass surveillance. This book is a must read for anyone committed to maintaining an international order that protects human rights, and who believes that technology of immense power can be harnessed to support rather than undermine democracy. It is both useful and inspiring, an essential resource for students and strategic leaders alike.' -- Harry Wingo, National Defense University, Washington D.C., US'In a world of ubiquitous surveillance, Eliza Watt's book could not be more timely. Meticulously researched and eloquently written, Eliza Watt offers a compelling examination of whether existing international human rights law is adequately equipped to meet the challenges of the age of cyber surveillance. Revealing a fragmented landscape of disparate standards, Watt dares to imagine how law could do better, whilst cautioning that the process of limiting mass cyber surveillance is likely to be incremental at best. A landmark in the field, this book is required reading for anyone with even a passing interest in the relationship between international human rights law and the surveillance practices of the cyber era.' -- Barrie Sander, Leiden University, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisWhile military law is often narrowly understood and studied as the specific and specialist laws, processes and institutions governing service personnel, this accessible book takes a broader approach, examining military justice from a wider consideration of the rights and duties of government and soldiers engaged in military operations.By exploring the relationship between the military and society, Nigel White develops a nuanced rationale for military justice. Making the case for both the continuation of military justice and key reforms, he analyses the military’s place in society and recognises the wider influences of justice and law upon it. Throughout the book, military justice is framed broadly to cover all relevant laws including service law, constitutional law, the law of armed conflict, international human rights law and international criminal law. This discussion is supported with analysis of a range of jurisprudence from domestic and international courts. The book considers the legal problems that arise in different military contexts, as well as positioning military justice as a balance between the rights and duties of government and those of soldiers.Tackling an important and timely topic, Military Justice will be key reading for academics, researchers and students within the fields of human rights, public international law, conflict and security law, and especially those with an interest in service law, military history and war studies. It will also be a useful reference point for practitioners working within relevant prosecuting authorities and within law firms offering legal advice to soldiers.Trade Review‘This detailed and comprehensive analysis of military justice is a brilliant addition to the lexicon of academic commentary on military justice. It provides a forensic examination of the relationship between soldier and state, and does not duck the difficult issues of dealing with “villains” who are perceived as “heroes” by politicians and the general public. It provides historical context while adding to the ongoing debate about the relevance of a separate system of justice in the modern era.’ -- Jeff Blackett, Judge Advocate General of HM Armed Forces 2004-2020‘This excellent book provides a concise and deeply nuanced assessment of an operationally vital, politically charged, and intensely contextual field of legal inquiry. Encompassing national and international law, and recognising the practical impact of military capability upon our interpretation and application of this law, Nigel White once again shows us why he is the leading scholar in this field, and a worthy successor to Peter Rowe and Hilaire McCoubrey as its flagbearer.’ -- Robert McLaughlin, Australian National University, Australia‘The domestic and international legal frameworks that govern the deployment of the United Kingdom’s armed forces and the rights of its members are complex and contested. Adopting an expansive approach to the meaning of military justice, in this book Professor White takes the reader on a journey from the drafting of the Magna Carta to military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the process, he unravels the relationship between the soldier and the state, and provides an engaging and thoughtful analysis of the law that regulates the actions of the armed forces at home and abroad.’ -- Alison Duxbury, University of Melbourne, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction to Military Justice 1.

Book SynopsisThis revised and expanded edition of the Research Handbook on International Law and Cyberspace brings together leading scholars and practitioners to examine how international legal rules, concepts and principles apply to cyberspace and the activities occurring within it. In doing so, contributors highlight the difficulties in applying international law to cyberspace, assess the regulatory efficacy of these rules and, where necessary, suggest adjustments and revisions.More specifically, contributors explore the application of general concepts and principles to cyberspace such as those of sovereignty, power, norms, non-intervention, jurisdiction, State responsibility, human rights, individual criminal responsibility and international investment law and arbitration. Contributors also examine how international law applies to cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, cyber crime, cyber attacks and cyber war as well as the meaning of cyber operations, cyber deterrence and the ethics of cyber operations. In addition, contributors consider how international and regional institutions such as the United Nations, the European Union, NATO and Asia-Pacific institutions and States such as China and Russia approach cyber security and regulation.This Research Handbook is an essential resource for scholars of international law, international relations and public and private law as well as for legal practitioners and policymakers.Trade Review‘Tsagourias and Buchan have successfully brought together some of the world's best legal thinkers on cyber issues to address the domain's most difficult current questions. For anyone looking to understand the application of international law to cyber operations, including the views of major actors such as China, and Russia, this second edition of the Research Handbook provides an incredibly useful one-stop source. A true must-read for anyone involved in cyber operations.’ -- Eric Talbot Jensen, Brigham Young University, US‘With cyber security rising to the top of nation States’ national security concerns, understanding the legal “rules of the road” for cyberspace has never been a higher priority. This second edition of the Research Handbook on International Law and Cyberspace rises to meet that occasion. Expertly edited, the Research Handbook offers reflections by leading experts on the state of the law as well as a candid look at its potential gaps and outstanding disputes. From its survey of relevant rules for uses of force and armed conflicts to new topics like investment law, peacekeeping, and cyber norms, this book provides the most comprehensive and current overview of the field today.’ -- Duncan B.

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.Stephen F. Ross presents this succinct introduction to key topics of law specific to sports, comparing approaches to sports law across the globe, with particular focus on the United States, Europe, and common law jurisdictions. Contrasting the profit-maximizing approach of North American leagues with the global integrated approach of professional sports governed by national and international governing boards, the book offers a novel model for the latter.Key features include: an exploration of how law facilitates or impairs revenue generation through contract, intellectual property, and other doctrines an insight into remedies for player contract breaches examination of the widespread use of arbitration in the resolution of sports law disputes analysis of competition law and human rights law as the principal external legal constraints on sporting entities.

Hitherto sports law books have dealt with one jurisdiction, scarcely acknowledging the alternative approaches adopted by other legal systems. Professor Ross, whose distinguished career has been marked by a commitment to comparative legal analysis, is the ideal person to review the terrain and point out the landmarks. This book will be of immense value to anyone who wants to understand how the law can interact with sports and sports organizations, not just by imagining abstract counterfactuals, but using concrete examples of alternative juridical interpretations.' -- - Stefan Szymanski, University of Michigan, US'Steve Ross is able to take the swirling vortex of sports law from around the world and corral it into a comprehensible and relatable form.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book offers an in-depth examination of whether, and if so how and to what degree, contemporary international law can and should conform to and develop the rule of law principle. Motivated by the neglect of conceptual and normative theorizing of the international rule of law within contemporary international legal scholarship, Denise Wohlwend analyses the moral and legal principle of the rule of law in the international legal order.The book draws on the tradition of analytical jurisprudence to explore the possibility and desirability of the international rule of law. Encompassing both international and domestic legal orders, the book advocates for a shift in the way the international rule of law is theorized, endorsing an approach that understands it as beneficial to individuals and as closely related to the domestic rule of law.This will be an invigorating read for legal scholars who deal with the international rule of law, whether at the level of positive law or legal theory. Representatives of international institutions, non-governmental organizations and policy-makers interested in the policy debate on the development and the strengthening of the international rule of law may also find this a useful book.Trade Review'Virtually everyone seems to agree that the rule of law is a good thing, but there is enormous variation in what it means domestically and, in particular, what it might mean internationally. In this important book Denise Wohlwend takes seriously the idea of an international rule of law that is more than just an extension of its domestic counterpart operating to the benefit of states. On the contrary, she argues, it should complement rather than compete with the political and legal aspirations of protecting individuals from unregulated power.' -- Simon Chesterman, National University of SingaporeTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book considers the ways in which international law, unlike domestic law, does not make itself known in a formalized, hierarchical structure, but needs to be conceptually (re)constructed by the participants and observers, out of a variety of practices and other elements. It explores such constructions, as well as how these images can be deconstructed and reconstructed.Bringing together contributions from expert scholars from a range of disciplines, from philosophy to international law scholars and practitioners, this book contrasts constructive, deconstructive and reconstructive perspectives of international law. Discussions on the topics are encouraged by eliciting responses from contributors on each other’s work. Throughout the book, chapters provide complementary views of key international legal concepts such as custom, legal interpretation, authority and sovereignty.Providing a framework that gives room to different disciplines, Conceptual (Re)Constructions of International Law will be a key resource for practitioners as well as scholars in the fields of legal philosophy, (international) legal theory and public international law.Trade Review‘This volume offers a deep dive into some of the most interesting questions at the intersection of philosophy and international law. It is brimming with thought-provoking insights and presented in a conversational style that opens, rather than forecloses, the conversation.’ -- Monica Hakimi, University of Michigan Law School, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1 Kostiantyn Gorobets, Andreas Hadjigeorgiou and Pauline Westerman PART I CONSTRUCTING INTERNATIONAL LAW 1 The interaction of doctrine and theory in (international) legal scholarship 9 Jörg Kammerhofer 2 Legal scholarship as design: A comment on Kammerhofer 27 Pauline Westerman 3 The Oxford Jurisprudence Circle: A lost legacy on customary (international) law 32 Andreas Hadjigeorgiou 4 The Oxford Jurisprudence Circle’s lost legacy: Transformational discovery or historical curiosity?

It provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the prevention of nuclear terrorism specifically through an international (arms control) law lens.Jonathan Herbach sets out a basis for better understanding how the international legal framework for nuclear security is structured and why it is structured that way, and offers a critical analysis of the component instruments that make up the framework. He highlights the strengths and analyzes possible gaps and weaknesses of these instruments and the legal framework as a whole, as well as explaining the framework’s key characteristics, approaches and rationale. As nuclear security is by no means a static topic, with changing circumstances a defining feature of the area, the book also offers ideas for the path forward and conceptualizes ways to further strengthen the nuclear security legal framework.Offering a fresh perspective on the prevention of nuclear terrorism, this book will benefit academics and students of public international law, counter-terrorism and conflict and security law. It will also be a useful resource for governmental legal advisors, think-tanks and diplomats to inform their work on means and mechanisms to help strengthen the global nuclear security regime and to provide guidance for decision-making.Trade Review‘With the prospect of a possible tactical nuclear attack by Russia if it loses in the Ukraine war a real possibility, the subject of nuclear terrorism is once again at the top of governments’ national security concerns, especially if Russia were to utilise a terrorist group proxy to carry out such an attack. This important book provides a comprehensive examination of how nuclear terrorism can be prevented through various measures, including an international arms control regime (ACR). The author explains how an ACR is structured, its key characteristics, its strengths, weaknesses, and gaps, and future directions for strengthening it.’ -- Joshua Sinai, Perspectives on Terrorism Journal‘Jonathan Herbach has written a masterly account of the place of nuclear security, particularly prevention of nuclear terrorism, in the broader context of nuclear arms control. While focused on international law aspects, this book is invaluable reading for policymakers, diplomats, officials and others interested in nuclear security. It is an essential introduction for newcomers to this subject, and an insightful reference work for experts.’ -- John Carlson, Non-Resident Senior Fellow, Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation and Australian Sherpa to the 2010 Nuclear Security SummitTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis innovative book extensively probes and reveals the existence of legal fictions in international law, developing a theory of their effectiveness and legitimacy. Reece Lewis argues that, since legal fictions exist in all systems and types of law, international law is no different and deserves discrete, detailed examination.The book considers the implications of the phenomenon, showing that while some international legal fictions are problematic, others can assist the application of international law through maintaining a coherent, stable and peaceful international legal order. The author identifies and critically analyses a host of international legal fictions and explores, in detail, the factors that determine their effectiveness. Chapters answer key questions such as: what is a legal fiction?, How do they exist in international law?, Should international law use legal fictions? and many more. Shedding light on a subject that is of contemporary relevance and importance, Legal Fictions in International Law will be an informative read for academics, researchers and students in international law, legal theory and public policy.Trade Review‘The topic of legal fictions is making a much-deserved comeback, following Jeremy Bentham’s scornful critique of them in English common law. In this cautiously enthusiastic defence, Reece Lewis identifies, taxonomises and evaluates the presence of fictions in international law. The result is a treat for international lawyers and legal theorists alike.’ -- Maksymilian Del Mar, Queen Mary University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction: examining international legal fictions 2. Legal fictions 3. International legal fictions 4. The evaluation of international legal fictions 5.

Book SynopsisConcerns about the position and function of nation-states in the international arena have led to a growing interest in the role of cities in international relations. This timely book advances the argument that cities are becoming active and informal actors in international law-making, indicating the emergence of a ‘third generation’ of multi-level governance. Expansive in scope, the book investigates various areas of city cooperation such as the economy, migration, security, sustainable development, ecology, and the position of cities in international law. Interviews conducted with the official representatives of several cities and international institutions, including UN-Habitat, the EU Committee of the Regions, and the Congress for Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, offer key insights into the most pressing urban issues of the 21st century. Examining the latest information on the international activities of cities, this engaging book explores the possibility that cities may soon reach the level of international subjects, capable of both implementing and creating international law. Contributing to the under-represented literature on the evolving function of cities in the modern world, this prescient book will be of interest to academics and students of urban studies, international relations, political science, and international law. City authorities dealing with international cooperation will benefit from its consideration of further development opportunities.Trade Review‘Cities have increasingly captured the imagination of international scholars and practitioners. This “rise” to fame is much talked about, but the international legal practicalities often remain overlooked and in need of tangible insights. Taking us on a much welcome empirical tour between security, climate, innovation, and migration, The Role of Cities in International Relations does just that for European cities, with a timely intervention rooted in clear research material – a useful read for lawyers and legal, as much as IR, scholars alike!’ -- Michele Acuto, University of Melbourne, Australia‘Built on substantial empirical enquiry, the book represents a systematic attempt to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the role of cities in international relations, illustrated in multiple policy domains and from various disciplinary angles. It fills an important gap in the literature.’ -- Alistair Cole, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong KongTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction to The Role of Cities in International Relations 2. The position of cities in international relations and international law 3. Bilateral and multilateral diplomacy between cities and its impact 4. European cities and migration policy 5.

Book SynopsisIn recent years the UNCHR has expressed increasing concern at how war, violence and persecution have resulted in an age of unprecedented mass displacement. The global financial crisis, the rise of populist leaders, and the growth of anti-EU parties, raises the need to interrogate the 'refugee', 'migrant', 'citizen', 'stateless', 'legal', and 'illegal' as concepts. This Research Handbook maintains that refugees need to be seen as core indicators of the failure of national, international, economic, and political governance, and provides critical analyses of the legal ordering of refugees, and gives a glimpse at what the future of refugee law could - and should - look like. Bringing together experts in the field, the innovative and groundbreaking chapters provide a critical perspective on the legal landscape for refugees at a time when the politics and legitimacy of transnational regulatory governance are in question as never before. In an age of growing ethnic nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, the contributing authors examine key issues surrounding refugees and migration, and build a new outlook on social justice, as the post-war international order ends. With its informative analysis and moving accounts, this Research Handbook will be a critical tool for students of law, especially those with an interest in human rights and migration. Its insights will also be valuable for policy practitioners and policymakers. Contributors include: S. Barichello, M. Bolhuis, E. Bruce-Jones, E. Darling, M. Giuffre, C. Higgins, Y. Holiday, N.

WoodTrade Review'...he has also brought into the Handbook new issues and debates that have arisen in the context of the changing politics around refugees. The book brings to the forefront the clear uncertainty surrounding many of the issues. I found the book compelling and engaging... the topics examined in the Handbook are interesting,and the Handbook is a useful reference tool or introduction to specific topics, issues and debates. The book will benefit academic researchers, postgraduate students, government officials, practising lawyers and lawyers who work in policy. I would recommend this book as a useful guide for the ongoing process of challenging and rethinking refugee law as a whole.' -- Nandi Rayner, South African Law JournalTable of ContentsContents: Preface Part I Refugees, Displaced Persons & the rise of Temporary Protection 1.
